Health, Safety and Environment Installing Isover Glass Mineral Wool Insulation

Is it easy to fit Isover glass mineral wool?

 

Isover glass mineral wool is very easy to fit. It’s flexible and friction fitted and holds in place between timber/metal frames/rafters without the need for additional fixings. This is unlike rigid boards which are solid, need to be cut to size and do not hold in place between timber/metal frames/rafters.

 

All Isover packaging now includes a set of text and icons to represent important handling and health and safety information. These icons follow latest EURIMA (European Mineral Wool Manufacturers Association) guidelines and have been developed to ensure that health and safety information is shown in a consistent, common format to all insulation users.

 

The complete list of the health and safety icons and their descriptions are shown below:
